LITTLE WENLOCK CLASSIC SOLID FUEL NON-BOILER STOVE

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

When installing, operating and maintaining your

stove respect basic standards of fire safety.Read

these instructions carefully before commencing the

installation. Failure to do so may result in damage to

persons or property. Consult your local Municipal

office and your insurance representative to deter-

mine what regulations are in force. Save these

instructions for future reference.

Special care must be taken when installing the stove

such that the requirements of the Health & Safety at

Work Act are met.

Handling

Adequate facilities must be available for loading,

unloading and site handling.

Fire Cement

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should

not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In

case of contact with the skin wash immediately with

plenty of water.

Asbestos

This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possi-

bility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of

installation then please seek guidance and use

appropriate protective equipment.

Metal Parts

When installing or servicing this stove care should

be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.

2

NOTE: Please note that it is a legal requirement

under England & Wales Building Regulations that

the installation of the stove is either carried out

under Local Authority Building Control approval or

is installed by a Competent Person registered with

a Government approved Competent Persons

Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and

a listing of their Registered Competent Persons

can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.

IMPORTANT WARNING: This stove must not be

installed into a chimney that serves any other

heating appliance. There must not be an extrac-

tor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as

this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the

room.

PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY

1. After removing the stove from the packaging,

open the fire door and remove all contents from

inside.

2. Fit the fire door handle using the screw provided.

3. Remove the stove from the pallet and position it

in the final installation position (See Location

& Clearance to Combustibles Section).

FLUES

Flues should be vertical wherever possible and

where a bend is necessary, it should not make an

angle of more than 45o with the vertical. Horizontal

flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a

back outlet from the appliance, when the length of

the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.

In order to minimise flue resistance and to make

sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45o

bends rather than a 90o bend.

The flue termination point must be located to min-

imise any wind effects. Wind effects of suction,

pressure zones and turbulence can be created by

the roof and adjacent objects. Wind effects can also

be created by natural land contours.

To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination

point should be located a minimum of 600mm from

the roof measured vertically and 2300mm measured

horizontally. Where this termination point does not

suffice it may be necessary to extend the flue pipe

so that the termination point is above the apex. See

Fig.1.

The installation must be completed in

accordance with current National and European

Standards and Local Codes. It should be noted

that the requirements and these publications

may be superseded during the life of this

manual.

CHIMNEY

The stove is a radiant room heater and must be con-

nected to a chimney of the proper size and type. The

chimney must have a diameter of at least 150mm.

Never connect to a smaller size chimney. Do not

connect to a chimney serving another appliance.

Minimum chimney height 4.5 meters from floor on

which stove is installed. The stove is supplied with a

5” flue spigot, the flue installation will require a 5” to

6” increaser which must be fitted with 1 meter of flue

outlet.

A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory, particu-

larly with regard to down draught should not be used

for venting this appliance until it has been examined

and any faults corrected.

An existing masonry chimney should be inspected

and if necessary repaired by a competent mason or

relined using an approved lining system. The stove

must be connected to a chimney with a minimum

continuous draught of 12 Pascal’s. Poor draught

conditions will result in poor performance. All regis-

ter plates, restrictor plates, damper etc., which could

obstruct the flue at a future date should be removed

before connecting this appliance. If connecting to

an existing chimney with a flue diameter of more

than 150mm it is necessary to line the flue using a

Fig.12300

600

ApplianceSoot Door

suitable stainless steel flue liner. Where a masonry

chimney is not available a proprietary type 150mm

twin wall, fully insulated pipe may be used.

The pipe must terminate at a point not lower than the

main ridge of adjacent outside obstructions. With

such installation, access to the chimney must be

provided for cleaning purposes. (See Fig.1)

When flue piping passes through a closure plate

with a sliding door, ensure that the pipe continues

up and is ultimately connected to the flue liner and

well sealed with fire cement.

TOP FLUE EXIT

For the top outlet configuration, remove the blanking

plate from the hob, remove the flue spigot from the

back plate and fix it to the hob. Fix the outlet blank-

ing plate to back plate (see Fig. 2). Push the flue out-

let connector pipe (not supplied) into the flue spigot

and cement into place using approved fire cement,

ensuring that no cement is blocking the flue pas-

sageway.

REAR FLUE EXIT

Push the flue connector pipe (not supplied) into the

flue spigot and cement into place using approved

fire cement ensuring that no cement is blocking the

flue passageway.

DOWN DRAUGHTS

However well designed constructed and positioned,

the satisfactory performance of the flue can be

adversely affected by down draught caused by near-

by hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These can

deflect wind to blow directly down the flue or create

a zone of low pressure over the terminal. A suitable

anti-down draught terminal or cowl will usually effec-

tively combat direct down blow but no cowl is likely

to prevent down draught due to a low pressure zone.

VENTILATION AND COMBUSTION AIR

REQUIREMENTS

This appliance is rated less than 5kW. There is no

additional air requirement unless a flue draught sta-

biliser is fitted then the air requirement is 15cm2.

When calculating combustion air requirements for

this appliance use the following equation: 550mm2

per each kW of rated output above 5 kW should be

provided, where a flue draught stabiliser is used the

total free area shall be increased by 300mm2 for

each kW of rated output. If there is another appli-

ance using air fitted in the same or adjacent room, it

will be necessary to provide an additional air supply.

All materials used in the manufacture of air vents

should be such that the vent is dimensionally stable,

corrosion resistant, and no provision for closure.

The effective free area of any vent should be ascer-

tained before installation. The effect of any grills

should be allowed for when determining the effective

free area of any vent.

Air vents direct to the outside of the building should

be located so that any air current produced will not

pass through normally occupied areas of the room.

An air vent outside the building should not be locat-

ed less than the dimensions specified within the

Building Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1 from any

part of any flue terminal. These air vents must also

be satisfactorily fire proofed as per Building

Regulations and B.S. 8303: Part 1.

Air vents in internal walls should not communicate

with bedrooms, bedsits, toilets, bathrooms or rooms

containing a shower.

Air vents traversing cavity walls should include a

continuous duct across the cavity. The duct should

be installed in such a manner as not to impair the

weather resistance of the cavity.

Joints between air vents and outside walls should be

sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture. Existing

air vents should be of the correct size and unob-

structed for the appliance in use. If there is an

extraction fan fitted in adjacent rooms where this

appliance is fitted, additional air vents may be

required to alleviate the possibility of spillage of

products of combustion from the appliance/flue

while the fan is in operation. Refer to B.S. 8303 Part

1.

Where such an installation exists, a test for spillage

should be made with the fan or fans and other appli-

ances using air in operation at full rate, (i.e.extrac-

tion fans, tumble dryers) with all external doors and

windows closed.

4

5

If spillage occurs following the above operation, an

additional air vent of sufficient size to prevent this

occurrence should be installed.

PERMANENT AIR VENT

The stove requires an adequate air supply in order

for it to operate safely and efficiently. The installer

may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the

room in which the stove is installed to provide com-

bustion and/or ventilation air. This air vent should

not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.

Extractor Fan

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same

room as the stove as this can cause the stove to

emit smoke and fumes into the room.

COMMISSIONING & HANDOVER

On completion of the installation allow a suitable

period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry

out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to

ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the

stove up the chimney and emitted safely to the

atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least

24 hours.

On completion of the installation and commissioning

ensure that the operating instructions for the stove

are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the cus-

tomer on the correct use of the appliance with the

fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to

use only the recommended fuels for the stove.

Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes

be emitted from the stove. The customer should be

warned to use a fire guard to BS 6539 in the pres-

ence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.

LOCATION

There are several conditions to be considered in

selecting a location for your stove.

A. Position in the area to be heated - central loca-

tions are usually best. If situated in an alcove,

site as far forward as possible, to provide more

heat to the room.

B. Allowances for proper clearances to com -

bustibles.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

It is recommended that this appliance is sited next to

and on a non-combustible surface. A minimum all

round clearance of 100mm will allow air circulation

and not impede the performance of the stove. If it is

necessary to site the stove near to a combustible

surface a minimum clearance of 400mm to side

walls and 550mm to rear walls must be maintained.

The connector may pass through walls or partitions

constructed of combustible materials provided the

connector is either listed for wall pass-through or is

routed through a device listed for a wall pass-

through and is installed in accordance with the con-

ditions of the listing. Any unexposed metal that is

used as part of a wall pass-through system is

exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stain-

less steel or other equivalent material that will resist

corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gas at

temperatures up to 982°C.

FLOOR PROTECTION

It is recommended that this appliance is installed on

a solid, level, non combustible hearth conforming to

current Building Regulations.

LIGHTING

Check that all controls and catches are operating

correctly and ensure that all flue connections are

thoroughly sealed. Open the spin valve fully and pull

the secondary air slide to fully open.

PRIMARY AIR CONTROL SPIN VALVE

When burning manufactured smokeless fuels, the

spin valve located near the bottom of the door, con-

trols the primary air supply to the stove. For maxi-

mum heat output and burn rate rotate the spin valve

fully in an anti-clockwise direction. For a minimum

burn rate rotate the spin valve fully in a clockwise

direction until fully closed. For nominal heat output

the spin wheel will need to be open about 2 turns

depending on the draught conditions of the chimney.

You will soon learn the spin valve settings to best

suit your requirements. The tool supplied fits the

spin valve and is designed to operate this part safe-

ly. It also fits the secondary air slide knob. These

parts will become very hot when the stove is in use

and should not be adjusted with an unprotected

hand.

SECONDARY AIR CONTROL - SLIDER

When burning wood pull out fully the control knob

situated over the top of the door. This air control is

a push pull operation, pull for fully open and push for

fully closed. The control can be gradually moved

between fully open and fully closed for the desired

setting. Fully open will be the hottest setting, as this

will provide the maximum air to the fire and will help

to clean the glass even after it has become sooty.

This control can be used in conjunction with the spin

valve but generally the fire will perform best if the

slider is used when burning wood and the spin valve

is used when burning manufactured smokeless

fuels. These controls are hot when the appliance is

in use. Use the tool to operate these controls.

If burning wood only place the supplementary wood

grate onto the grate. The holes in it are a guide for

correct positioning. Fitting it onto the lugs will ensure

it stays in place if the riddling mechanism is used.

RECOMMENDED FUELS

This appliance has been tested using seasoned

wood logs and manufactured smokeless fuels.

Other fuels are commercially available and may give

similar results. Do not use fuels with a Petro-coke

ingredient as this may cause the grate to overheat,

causing damage. Reduced outputs will result when

fuels of lower calorific value are used. All fuels

should be stored under cover and kept as dry as

possible prior to use.

This stove has obtained HETAS Ltd approval for

burning natural and manufactured smokeless fuels

and wood logs only as detailed in recommended

fuels. HETAS Approval does not cover the use of

other fuels either alone or mixed with the recom-

mended fuels listed, nor does it cover instructions

for the use of other fuels.

Fig.9 RE-FUELLING

When refuelling with manufactured smokeless fuel

riddle the fire by connecting the grate operating tool

onto the rocker connection located at the bottom

front of the stove, then gently pull and push the rock-

er arm until all dead ash has fallen through into the

ashpan. Before opening the door, open the spin

valve by turning it anti-clockwise, as this will help to

eliminate any smoke or fly ash resident in the com-

bustion chamber. Add fuel to fire, taking care not to

overfill higher than the front firebars. Close fire door

and re-set spin valve to required setting. Do not

operate this appliance with the fire door open. (See

Fig.8)

When burning wood the requirement to riddle the

fire is much less. Do not riddle the fire with the spin-

wheel open but fully open the secondary air control

instead. Remember to reset the controls after refu-

elling.

Fig.10

OVERNIGHT BURNING

When burning manufactured smokeless fuels, to

achieve a slow burning rate close the spin valve

fully, then open it about half a turn. This may be less

depending on draught conditions. If the fuel load is

too small, or the draught is too strong, the spin valve

may have to be closed, to sustain the burn rate.

This will be found by trial and error by adjusting the

amount of air and fuel load, depending upon the fuel

left at the end of the burning period.

Fig. 11

DISPOSAL OF ASH

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a

tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should

be on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well

away from all combustible materials pending final

disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil

or otherwise locally dispersed they should be

retained in the closed container until all cinders have

thoroughly cooled.

MAINTENANCE

CREOSOTE: Formation and Need for Removal

When some fuels are burned slowly, they produce

tar and other organic vapours, which combine with

expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote

vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue

of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue

accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited cre-

osote makes an extremely hot fire.

SLOW BURNING

To achieve slow burning when burning wood close

the secondary air slide and open a few millimetres

using the tool provided. Slow burning will cause the

window glass to blacken and should not be used for

a long period as it will leave sooty deposits in the

flueways. Opening the air slide will increase the

heat output and will clear the glass.

DE-ASHING

Never allow the ashpan to over fill as it will cause

damage to the grate. Open the fire door and remove

ashpan using the operating tool. Close the fire door.

When the ash is disposed of, replace the empty ash-

pan. (See Fig.9) Do not leave the fire unattended

with the fire door open, even for a minute.

8

CHIMNEY CLEANING

Chimney and connector should be cleaned at least

twice a year. Once before heating season and once

after. The chimney connector and chimney should

be inspected at least monthly during the heating

season to determine if a creosote build-up has

occurred. Remove the cast iron baffle plate located

at the top end of the firebricks before chimney clean-

ing.

When inspecting a masonry chimney, start at the

cleanout door, normally found at the base of the

chimney, or on the outside. If your chimney does not

have a clean-out door one should be provided.

REMEMBER COAL GASES ARE TOXIC.

WARNING NOTE

Properly installed, operated and maintained this

stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling.

Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling

may occur. However, persistent fume emission is

potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. if

fume emission does persist, then the following

immediate action should be taken:

(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room

(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose

of fuel from the stove.

(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and

clean if required.

(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the

cause of the fume emission has been iden-

tified and corrected. If necessary seek

expert advice.

The most common cause of fume emission is flue-

way or chimney blockage. For your own safety

these must be kept clean at all times.

FIRE SAFETY

To provide reasonable fire safety the following

should be given serious consideration:

1. The installation of smoke detectors.

2. A conveniently located fire extinguisher to con-

tend with small fires resulting from burning

embers.

3. A practical evacuation plan.

4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:

a. Notify the fire department.

b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacua-

tion.

c. Close all openings into the stove.

d. While awaiting the fire department watch for

ignition to adjacent combustibles from over

head stove pipe or from embers or from

sparks from the chimney.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Now that your Solid Fuel stove is installed and no doubt you are looking forward to many comforts it will pro-

vide, we would like to give you some tips on how to get the best results from your stove.

1. We would like if you could take some time to read the operating instructions/hints, which we are

confident, will be of great benefit to you.

2. Do not burn fuel with a high moisture content, such as a damp peat or unseasoned timber.

This will only result in a build up of tar in the stove and in the chimney and the possibility of a

chimney fire.

3. CLEAN THE FLUE-WAYS OF THE STOVE EVERY WEEK AND ENSURE THAT THERE ARE

NO BLOCKAGES. CHECK FLUEWAYS BEFORE LIGHTING ESPECIALLY AFTER A SHUT-

DOWN PERIOD. PLEASE REFER TO MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

4. Before loading fresh fuel into the firebox, riddle fully to remove all ashes this will allow better and

cleaner burning. See Re-Fuelling Section.

5. Never allow a build up of ashes in the ash pan, as this may cause the grate to burn out prema-

turely.

6. Avoid long periods of slow burning of damp or unseasoned fuel as this will result in tarring flue-

ways and chimney i.e. timber.

7. Allow adequate air ventilation to ensure plenty of air for combustion.

8. Do not burn rubbish/house hold plastic.

9. Clean the chimney at least twice a year.

10. Burning soft fuels such as timber and peat will stain the glass. Regular cleaning will prevent per-

manent staining.

11. Keep all combustible materials a safe distance away from the appliance, please see section for

clearances to combustibles.

12. For safety reasons never leave children or the elderly unaccompanied while stove is in use.

Use a fireguard.

13. Avoid contact with appliance when in use as the stove reaches very high operating temperatures.

14. This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer. Use only replace-

ment parts recommended by. Using unauthorised parts will invalidate your guarantee

and may cause damage or injury.

AN ODOUR WILL EMIT FROM STOVE ON FIRST FIRING, WHEN FIRE REACHES MAXIMUM

TEMPERATURE OVER A NUMBER OF HOURS THIS ODOUR WILL SUBSIDE.

IT IS BEST ADVISED TO OPEN WINDOWS DURING THIS PERIOD.

THIS ODOUR IS UNPLEASANT BUT NOT TOXIC. YOU MAY WISH TO VACATE THE ROOM WHILE

THE PAINT CURES.

Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation workand commissioning checks described in the installation instructions havebeen carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, issound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves commission-ing and handover the installer should demonstrate how to operate thestove correctly.

LIGHTING

IMPORTANT: The first few fires should be relatively small to permit the

refractory to set properly and to season the stove.

1. Before lighting the stove, ensure that any build-up in the firebox has been

removed and that the ashpan has been emptied.

2. Open the spin valve by turning it anti-clockwise. Open secondary air control

by pulling it fully out. These parts will become hot. Use the tool provided.

3. Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the grate and then a few small sticks,

kindling or an approved firelighter.

4. Ignite and close the door.

5. Never use inflammable liquid i.e. gasoline, petrol paraffin etc. to start or

freshen up a fire in this heater.

6. When the fire is well established add fuel to the firebox. Adjust to the desired

setting the spin valve and / or the secondary air slide depending on the fuel

burned. (See Re-Fuelling Section).

7. To shut the fire down, do not add fuel. Make sure that the fire door is

properly closed, that the spin valve is firmly shut and the secondary air

slide is pushed in. Cutting off the air supply will reduce the heat output.

GLASS

1. How to clean:

The glass will clean itself when there is sufficient

heat generated by burning fuel. If a build-up of cre-

osote occurs on the glass it may be due to draft con-

ditions, poor quality fuel or very slow burning for

along time. Only clean glass when the stove is thor-

oughly cooled. Clean with a liquid detergent taking

care not to scratch the glass with any coal ash

deposits.

2. Glass Replacement: (See Fig.12)

a. Open the door fully.

b. Remove the four corner screws and clips and

carefully remove the broken glass.

c. Clean the glass recess in the door.

d. Attach adhesive thermal tape to the perimeter of

the replacement glass.

e. Place the thermal tape side of the glass into the

door recess and replace the four corner clips.

f. Tighten screws.

g. Replace glass only with ceramic glass 5mm thick.

SUMMER SHUTDOWN

For summer shutdown of the stove, ensure all

ashes have been cleaned from the ash com-

partment and that the air control is fully open, to

avoid condensation in the stove firebox and

possible corrosion during this shutdown period.
